CIVIL WAR Is a Vapid, Apolitical Mess with Little Meaning
Alex Garland's Civil War is a mess of a movie that showcases little to no interest in the very thing it claims to be about.

Your Favorite Horror Movie Was a Much Scarier True Story
From “The Exorcist” to “The Lighthouse,” many lauded scary movies were based on terrifying true stories. Here’s what really happened.
Q.: Have you seen Rob Zombie's "Halloween" entries, and if so, what's the verdict?
I haven't viewed "House of a Thousand Corpses." No plans to
the " Saw" franchise.I love pitch black humor & enjoy horror but have little use for gratuitous violence or cruelty as entertainiment.
On the other hand, an occasional sledgehammer trumps a scalpel,

In this ribald fictional telling of a young Trump’s rise, the man responsible is the lawyer Roy Cohn, played to sleazy perfection by Jeremy Strong.

Question:
I like horror flicks, but don't enjoy meditations on human cruelty or absurdly gratuitous violence. Hence, I have never viewed the
"Saw"
franchise, etc.
What do you think of Rob Zombie's "House of a Thousand Corpses" and "Halloween" entries?
Further, I have not been able to bring myself to watch the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974), "Last House on the Left (1972), or "The Hills Have "Eyes" (1977).
Have you guys seen any or all of the above? You could probably throw "Straw Dogs" (1971) in there as well.
These films, however cheaply made, are of much greater cinematic significance than the Rob Zombie directed movies.
As with George Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), director Toby Hooper's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" apparently draws upon the American experience with racism and the effects of the Vietnam War.
That's not me talking. That's Romero and Hooper commenting on their work.

Texas Chainsaw was creepy. Prob would pass. Never watched Saw for the reason you didn't. Rob Zombie's Halloween was ok but the worst of the all the Halloweens. It was too violent Had a terrible rape scene as well. PassQuestion:

The original Halloweens were classic. I even liked 4 and H20 was good.
Here's a list for scary movies this season,
Pro horror movie watchers.... Hell House LLC, Autopsy of Jane Doe, Host (short but great), Terrified (Argentina). Sinister, Conjuring 1 and 2, Insidious....Haunting of Hill House (great series).
Great ghost story I just watched Oddity. Very good.
The new Salems Lot was fun. Worth the watch. The First Omen was pretty cool as well.

Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS Is a Strange, Enthralling, and Beautiful Mess of Ludicrous Ideas
Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis is a self-contradicting mess of ludicrous ideas that's also a captivating, visually stunning experience.

I wrote this like I was in the middle of a fever dream because that's how the movie made me feel. A crazy piece of art that might totally suck but is never boring.
Yeah I felt like I drank a bottle of robitussin. Definitely not boring, I could see it becoming a cult classic tbh…there isn’t anything that I’ve ever seen quite like itFrancis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS Is a Strange, Enthralling, and Beautiful Mess of Ludicrous Ideas

I finally watched Joker 2 and all I can say is "why?"

Even when they make a really good movie (Wonder Woman, Joker), the follow ups prove DC Universe is still a rudderless ship (WW 1984, Joker The Musical).
Joker 2 was one of the weakest sequels I've seen in a long time.
DC just hit a grand slam homerun with the Penguin show on Max. Definitely one of the strongest comic book to visual media adaptations in a long time. From what I hear, they're contemplating a Mat Reeves-verse of shows that focus on different villains from Batman's Rogue's Gallery.
DC also has the best animated movies out of the Big Two publishers - we have them playing on rotation here at the shop.

The Penguin is outstanding. Good writing + Great actors = Great content. Why DC can't figure out the Marvel formula is beyond me (not that Marvel is flawless, but Ironman through Endgame is as good as it gets.)
IMO DC shouldn't try to emulate the MCU formula. The heroes are different and thus, the storytelling needs to be different - Marvel has given their lineup of characters more grounded in reality problems that are relatable while DC deals with more mythological figures with god level powers. DC just needs to turn in to what makes their characters great rather than go against the grain of these established characters. Maybe that's why Batman is usually a hit with audiences at the movies since he's their most Marvel-like character. I was strictly a DC reader until my 20's so I'm a little biased when I say this but I am a little perplexed that they can't capture a sustained magic formula outside of the Batman stories.

Because it's painfully obvious their writers didn't/don't read comic books. Even Zack Snyder, who is supposed to be some sort of genius, sucks at capturing the feel of the comics. The Batman stuff is easy, just mimic The Dark Knight. I was a Marvel kid, so I'm biased, but from the very first scene of Ironman (hell, since I heard they cast RDJ) I was like "They are really taking the comics seriously!"
Clint Eastwood and the Power of a Squint
When Clint Eastwood narrows his eyes, pay attention. A master of the big screen is using them to convey seduction, intimidation, mystery and more.
